Lunch with
an Expert
The STC Atlanta Chapter is beginning a new program to put senior
experienced members in touch with others in a way that keeps things
deliberately informal. We looked closely at the Mentoring Program,
and there was a general agreement that the mentoring relationship
requires a level of time and commitment that few could sustain and
was perhaps intimidating to many.
Since everyone eats lunch, it made sense to try a different
approach centered around that congenial activity. We’ve got a list
of senior members with a wide range of professional interests and
experience, and they’re ready to share the benefit of their wisdom
with a fellow Chapter member over lunch at a mutually agreeable time
and place.
If you’re struggling with a project, looking to branch our into a
different area of technical communication, investigating an academic
technical communication program, or just wanting to connect with a
new professional colleague, send an email with a brief description
of what you’re interested in talking about, what part of town you’re
in, and your contact information. We’ll be back in touch with the
name and contact information of one of the Experts.
There are only a couple of ground rules: the Expert gets treated
to lunch and you provide some feedback about the program. Everything
else is up to the two of you.
Email your request or any questions to Roger Siegel.
